FS One and Vista are compatible with each other however you do need to do a few things before installing: 1. Check your system specifications. Windows Vista is a much larger version of Windows than previous versions and takes up more system resources for the Operating system. Make sure you have enough system resources to run Vista and FS One at the same time. If you have any questions about this please call our product support line listed at the bottom. 2. Windows Vista has several graphic intensive features built in and turned on by default. These features can take up a lot of system resources slowing down your programs (including the installation program for FS One.) To turn these features off (temporarily or permanently, it’s up to you) go to Start/Control Panel (Classic View)/Performance Information and Tools /Adjust visual effects and set your computer to “Adjust for best performance” and press OK. This will turn off all of the graphic intensive display options within your computer and allow programs to run more smoothly. Note: You do not have to keep this setting permanently to run FS One but you do need to do it during the installation or it will greatly increase your install time. If you do keep it or use the Custom setting your computer will run better as it will have more system resources to devote to the programs it runs as opposed to the operating system. 3. The (U)ser (A)ccount (C)ontrol must be turned off. To do this go to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts (Classic View)/Turn User Account Control on or off and uncheck the UAC box. Note: You must have your Control Panel set to Classic View to see the User Accounts icon. To do this press the Classic View button in the upper right hand section of the Control Panel. Also, the UAC is an attempt to restrict access to your computer for security reasons. It is your decision whether or not to use this feature but if you do, the UAC will restrict the functionality and usability of FS One. 4. After this is done you can now download and install the most recent patches and updates from www.fsone.com. It is recommended to do this after you have completed the previous steps as these contain several program fixes and additions. If you have any questions regarding this you can contact the FS One tech support department at 1-877-504-0233. It is open M-F 8:00AM to 7:00PM Central time.
